Fwd: Scaling Lock Performance

Oct 23, 2017

The next release of picotm will feature a number of improvements to the
locking code, and specifically to the transactional-memory module. Locks
will be more scalable and transactions have now bounded execution times,
guaranteeing progress of the system as a whole.

In my blog, I posted an article about the upcoming changes and how
they affect the results of picotm’s performance tests.
